Chain Binders for Grade 70 Transport Chain

Chain Binders can be known around the industry as Lever Chain Binders and are used to bind chains together when securing loads. Chain Binders work by utilizing chain binders that use pieces of chain to form a tight securement. Although chain binders ultimately have industry standards such as the most common being Grade 70 (G70) Transport Chain it can be customized such as the width and length of the chain that is needed. Chain binders include a lever that can bring the two ends of the chain close together and secure cargo by locking the chains into place.

The second type of Chain Binder is known around the flatbed industry as a Ratchet Load Binder and is used to tighten the chain to hold your cargo into place. They are made from steel construction materials and include a handle that provides great leverage when tightening without the risk of becoming injured during tightening. These are some of the heaviest-duty materials in the industry and are made to last.

Flatbed Straps for Cargo Control

Flatbed Straps can consist of numerous combinations of Tie Down Straps such as Ratchet Straps and Winch Straps designed to be specifically used for applications on flatbed trucks and flatbed trailers. Flatbed load straps are our heaviest-duty straps in terms of both weight securement limitations and the number of materials used to secure the cargo. Our flatbed straps are made from polyester tie-down webbing that is used as it stretches very little when in use to help prevent load shifts or straps from failing.

Ratchet Straps – Ratchet Straps work by using a Ratchet Hardware Mechanism that with each wind of the handle the strap becomes tighter as the ratchet flows in one direction. Once the ratchet strap is to the desired tightness the strap is locked into place and can not become weakened or untightened as the mechanism design flows only in one direction.

When you arrive at the cargo’s final destination the cargo can be loosened in seconds simply by opening the handle completely and pulling the excess polyester webbing out from the ratchet. This is why Ratchet Straps are widely popular with professional shippers and truck drivers alike as they are extremely reliable.

Winch Straps – Winch Straps are one of the most common types of tie-down straps used for cargo securement on the back of Flatbed Trailers with the use of winch track systems that are installed along the sides of the flatbed trailers. Winch Straps can be placed inside the rails of the flatbed trailers creating a simple to-use and time-saving method to secure heavy-duty and oddly shaped cargo that normal tractor-trailers can not always secure cargo with.

Sliding winches as the name implies can slide along the rails of the trailer allowing for secure placement of your winch straps to be extremely versatile in the securement locations to fit just about any load securement demands that are thrown at you on the road. We also have a selection of Winch Bars that make securing and releasing tie-downs a breeze.
